Katy Perry Reveals Plans To Leave
Tonight Katy Perry was on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and while on the show she let some big news slip. She shared saying, “This fall, in September, I’m going to be doing this huge music festival in Brazil called Rock in Rio… so I think this will probably be my last season for Idol.” It is unknown if Katy planned to let this news out on the show tonight or if it just slipped out.
She went on to say, “I mean, I love Idol so much. It’s connected me with the heart of America, but I need to feel that pulse of my own beat.” Katy has been a part of the show since 2018 and so her moving on will be a big change for American Idol. This show has changed judges before, but not since the revival.
